Play ball! The Reno Aces 2018 baseball season is under way at Greater Nevada Field.

Reno may be in a mountain rain shadow, but the Sierra Nevada causing it are right here, rising at the western edge of the city. That means the snow is literally less than an hour away, along with many world-class skiing, snowboarding, and other snow sports areas. Combine that with abundant sunshine between storms, and you have one of the best winter sports areas in North America.
